Shepherd
boy David who was anointed by Prophet Samuel, who defeated Goliath and later
became king of Israel. David fought many
battles to unite the all of Israel, he was an anointed worshiper of the Adonai
Yeshua our Messiah. In one of his Psalm David, has given a precious faith-filled statement which is as follows: When I cry,
then my enemies will be turned back. This I know, for God is with me. (Psalms
56:9)
What
a powerful statement of faith? We can give this statement when our prayers are
answered, and things are going well in our life. But can we say it, when the
answer to prayer is not coming the way we expected it, or there is a delay in the
solution? Then the situation becomes a tougher moment by moment, we struggle with
faith in Adonai Yeshua the Messiah. This is where we have to learn a small
secret of King David anointed worshipper of the Adonai Yeshua our Messiah.
Reading
and Meditating, claiming the living word of God daily and at moments of
conflict, Prayer should be talking to Lord Yeshua through supplication, with
thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known to God. As explained by Apostle
Paul in his letter to Philippians chapter 4: 6-7. Let us understand by looking
at two characters in the Holy Bible.
Matthew
the former tax collector, mentions about the faith of Centurion in chapter 8. In
his conversation, he beseeched Master Yeshua our Messiah to heal his paralyzed
servant. The request was granted by Lord
Yeshua as mentioned For I also am a man under
authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to
another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
Now when Yeshua heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following,
“Amen, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith! (Matthew
8:9-10). The most important thing in this conversation of the Centurion is he
was begging the Master; how do we approach do we beseech or just cry at the
time of need?
Another character is called Jonah a bigoted
Jew who was unwilling to testify to a Gentile City called Nineveh and angry
that GOD had spared it. In the book of Jonah chapter 2, we can find Jonah’s Prayer. and he said, I cried to Jehovah from my distress. And He answered
me. Out of the belly of Sheol, I cried for help, and You heard my voice. (Jonah
2:2) this is really a pathetic condition in the life
of a person, caught up between life and death, where death is standing at the door
to capture your soul. Still, despite the hopeless condition of a person, it is
the love and grace of Lord Yeshua the Messiah, which can rescue provided we cry
like Jonah.
So, decide today how we want to move ahead in
our walk with Lord Yeshua our messiah? Whether to beseech like centurion or cry
like Jonah? Think and decide today. Do not be ashamed to cry in your prayer to Adonai Yeshua.
BETTER BE LATE THAN
NEVER.
Adonai Lord Yeshua our Messiah is coming
Soon!
